I have worn a variety of styles of Teva sandals for 20+ years- love them for hiking, kayaking, biking, beach, pool, everyday use. Not this one. These flip flops are super light, supportive and easy to wear. Unfortunately they gave me blisters on the tops of both feet- so disappointed that I will not be able to wear them. Any suggestions on how to remedy are appreciated. I cannot wear them, feel I wasted money.

I have consistently purchased the black Olowahu flip flop since it came out. Once I wear one out I already have a spare. I have been trying to wear the pair purchased last year for a few weeks and something is changed. I can't stand them. The straps are tight and fit way different than years past. I have noticed many similar reviews, why the change? Super bummed and disappointed.

I have purchases this sandal 4 times over the years. It has always been my go to sandal. This last time I could barely get it on my foot. Ordered the exact size and style I always order. The right one was much worse than the left. I have been wearing them and trying to stretch them out but they are still miserable to wear. Not sure if I got a bad pair or if you changed your manufacturing process. Very disappointed. Will not be purchasing these ever again.

This is my third pair of this style and size flip flop from your company, the first two pair fit perfectly. The straps on this pair are so tight that they are painful to wear.

I have worn these sandals for years and your current ones have been resized!? They no longer fit my foot and I have had to return them. I am heartbroken. I can only assume you are using a different manufacturer.

It would appear that Teva is running small. I have a pair that I've literally run holes into from wearing them for so long. Teva's sizing isn't consistent with US measurements any longer. I ended up giving all 3 pair to a family member because they wear a smaller size shoe than I do. I have order 1 size large than this order and the shoe was shoes were sloppy and too big. Inconsistent fit makes it hard to order Teva. I ordered 3 docent colors and all 3 colors for different. I could only get my for into 1 pair successfully. Yet my original pair of Teva sandals were a perfect fit day one. My second pair were slightly bigger. But I've not had success with finding another proper fitting sandal since.

These shoes are very uncomfortable and not up to Teva standards. I need to send back.

One sandal fit perfectly, but the left sandal is a factory defect. There are 3 straps on each sandal. The red one was too tight, and the turquoise one was waaay too long. What a shame! You should not try to resell them. From the packaging, I got the impression that they had been returned once already.

10 fits like an 8.5! I wear a 9.5 so I ordered the 10s because they didn't come in half sizes. These strangled my baby toes. I had two friends who wear 9s try them on (one has high arches). Didn't fit them either. I ended up giving these to my sister who wears a 8.5! My sister and one of my size 9 friends all know their Teva size, and these should have been too big. But no. They destroyed everyone's smallest toe! Booo! This was my first time ordering from Teva. I'll pass.

I'm normally a 9.5. My arch, instep, and width are all average. Yet the straps on these sandals are trying to rip my little toe off. My sister normally wears a size 8 and these fit her.

Unfortunately straps are so close that I could not get my foot in. So could not tell if it has support or is comfortable.

so just like all the other companies, Teva had to go and change the way they make these and ruined them ! The foam is really hard and although I have worn them around the house several times thinking maybe they could be broke in, no luck. Terrible sandles. These shoe companies need to go back to the basics!

I've been wearing and buying this sandal for around 25 years and this year it no longer works for me. Nothing has changed on my end. My experience: Teva made the side toe strap wider so that it sags and no longer supports. It looks terrible hanging there...Also, there is a funny "bump" on the sole of the sandal under the big toe which was never there before but now can be felt and no longer feels smooth as I walk. Im so disappointed ...its true to size in every other way. I bought two pairs and both are identically changed in design and no longer works for me.

They looked nice but they were too narrow and the material the straps are made of are coarse. I thought they'd saw my feet up if I walked in them. The length was correct but too narrow and rough. So now I know your wife is maybe a D width and I need E or EE or adjustable.

I have this shoe in the same size but another color and I love them. But these didn't fit at all. They were irregular. The straps were so tight that it was impossible to fit the foot into the shoe. It's a shame because they are so cute and I would buy them if I could get a pair without the defect.

I returned the sandles they are not the same as the ones I bought in the past. Bring back your old design. The straps are too tight and heel is smaller.

I bought these on clearance and was so disappointed. They are just a basic pair of flip-flops like you would purchase at any big box store. Flimsy. Little arch support. Waste of money, even at clearance price.

All I can say is the foot bed feels nice, however the straps are incredibly loose. I bought 2 pair and straps on both aren't consistent. Both very loose, the black pair, slightly bit less loose. There would be no way I'd wear these in public sadly, but I wear them to take my dog out to the yard. I desperately needed a a pair because my new puppy destroyed my other Teva Olowahus I had since 2007. They looked loved for sure but still managed to stay on my feet. Several years agoI tried to purchase another pair and had to return because the straps were extremely tight. So, I would say Teva please pay attention to quality. You had a great product once, bring it back.

I wanted this style so much, but they were too wide, and no way to adjust. The longest strap over the top of my foot was loose on me. Had to return them.

These run big. The sole is thick and stiff. The straps are to floppy, so you can't just slide your foot in. The old style is way more comfortable way more cute... I really wanted another like my old Teva sandals/flip-flops. Disappointed.

I love, love, love Teva but either these were mismarked or just plain didn't work for me. Very narrow, such flimsy straps that they're difficult to get on and felt short.
